The Sword of Summer - Rick Riordan

Titel: The Sword of SummerFörfattare: Rick RiordanSerie: Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #1Sidor: 499

Magnus Chase has always
been a troubled kid. Since his mother’s mysterious death, he’s lived
alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step
ahead of the police and the truant officers.

One day, he’s
tracked down by a man he’s never met—a man his mother claimed was
dangerous. The man tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a
Norse god.

The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are
preparing for war. Trolls, giants and worse monsters are stirring for
doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a
weapon that has been lost for thousands of years.

When an attack
by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives
of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision.

“Could you do a glamour and turn into something smaller?" I asked it. "Preferably not a chain, since it's no longer the 1990s?"The sword didn't reply (duh), but I imagined it was humming at a more interrogative pitch, like, Such as what?"I dunno. Something pocket-size and innocuous. A pen, maybe?"The sword pulsed, almost like it was laughing. I imagined it saying, A pen sword. That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.”

AH, I LOVED this so much! Magnus is basically tied with Percy as my favorite character and this book was everyting I wanted it to be! Also, I did the same thing with Thor! I tried not to but all I could see was Chris Hemsworth. =)
